A quicker method that does not rely on Safari
Authored by: Nafai on May 28, '03 02:11:05PM
Since I abhor Safari, but love this tip, at first I just changed the tell app portion to "Mozilla", but realized that I was doing too much work: If you are using Mozilla or a counterpart, simply make a new bookmark, and put this in the url:
http://www.google.com/search?q=rphonebook:%s
Then make the keyword whatever you want, I chose the letter "p". Now in your address bar, all you have to do is type:

p [first name] [last name] [city] [state]

and hit return. A lot faster and simpler for me than an Applescript method, and definitely preferable in my mind to using Safari. I honestly feel stupid because I didn't even know that Google HAD a phone book search until reading this, and always used the incredibly slow and tedious 411.com.
